May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Well well well – look what we have here! I guess that’s why Sarah went to Nice a few weeks back, to lay down her vocals for this. Gotta say, it ain’t bad! Nostalgia tripping to the max, hey boys? Even right down to that fab Roadrunner magazine photo. Click the image to take a…
The makers of Uncut magazine have brought out a special edition of the magazine with a whole issue dedicated entirely to Marc Bolan. I just had a quick perusal of it and it looks pretty good. Loads of detail and lots of great photos. I’ll give it a more substantial read later on.
